UK government misinterpreted what the petition is about and didn't really answered to what was being asked
early general elections canceled all ongoing petitions at the time

This attempt has a new, reworded petition to, hopefully, make it simple and clear enough to avoid any additional problems.

There are two thresholds for UK petitions:

10 000 signatures: official government response
100 000 signatures: petition will be considered for debate in Parliament

Here is a video from Ross Scott (the main organizer of the Stop Killing Games initiative) about this update.

Dude you don't get it, the AAA devs will literally go bankrupt if they have to waste a fraction of their profits to do the bare minimum!!! Why won't anyone think of the children?????

That's the funny thing about all of this it wouldn't cost the company a single penny. All they'd have to do is open source their code that's it.

That too would have costs associated with it. Nothing is free when you do it at work, but it's reasonable to impose those kinds of costs to ensure the products they make meet a base standard.
